Descripción: | Description:
The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2004:858.
SquirrelMail[1] is a widely used webmail client for php4.
Four vulnerabilities were discovered in SquirrelMail:
Alvin Alex reported[2] that SquirrelMail 1.4.2 is prone to multiple cross-site scripting[3] attacks which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary script as other users and possibly steal authentication information via multiple attack vectors, including the mailbox parameter in compose.php.
Roman Medina discovered[4] a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability[5] in mime.php for SquirrelMail before 1.4.3 that allows remote attackers to insert arbitrary HTML and script code via the content-type mail header, as demonstrated using read_body.php.
An SQL injection vulnerability[6] in SquirrelMail before 1.4.3 RC1 allows remote attackers to execute unauthorized SQL statements, with unknown impact, probably via abook_database.php.
Roman Medina also found[7] other multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities[8] in SquirrelMail 1.2.10 and earlier that allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML or script via (a) the $mailer variable in read_body.php, (b) the $senderNames_part variable in mailbox_display.php, and possibly other vectors including (c) the $event_title variable or (d) the $event_text variable.
Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade'
